Default Death of Explorer and Saturn



This was mine and my brothers first Cars. Water is deeper than it looks they are floating. Explorer was a POS anyways. We knew the storm (hurricane alex) was coming, but we decided to stay because the waves were going to get real good. We just had to walk. Just thought I would share.

No, we were in a log cabin type thing. there was 3 1/2 feet of water in it. We kept feeling it shift around like it was floating a little bit. we were sitting on surfboards and listening to bob marley and sublime the entire time.

Damn! That's why I jacked my Saturn up before Hurricane Rita rolled in. We thought it was going to flood, but it didn't, just wrecked my carport. My Camaro was on the 4th floor of a brand new concrete parking garage.




Here's a thread with Rita pics I posted in the Lounge back in the day. Pretty good stuff....
